Self-taught entrepreneur
My name is Antonio. Born 10/20/75. Arrested 9/30/94, age 18. While in prison I became self-educated on business and financial literacy. I was denied a vocation while incarcerated. There was no system in place to prepare me for my release, so I studied Black Enterprise Magazine and Entrepreneur Magazine. Once released on 3/8/2008 in the heart of the recession, my P.O. denied me the opportunity for employment and would try to prevent me from building my auto paint shop company with a 7:00 curfew.
Sent back to MSDF with no new criminal charges
I was in and out of MSDF and revocated multiple times while never having another criminal charge since 1994. I have a commercial cleaning business, janitorial supply business, commercial supply business, as well as a media company that includes filming and marketing. All this is noted by my p.o. in my log.
